Releases: codeurjc-students/2025-TripFlow
Release v1.0.1
📦 TripFlow - Release v1.0.1
🧭 Summary
Patch release 1.0.1 of TripFlow. Flattens the backend and WebSocket subdomains to a single level so they can be proxied through Cloudflare with valid SSL, hiding the origin IP while keeping the platform behind Cloudflare's protection. No application features change — this is an infrastructure, build, and CI maintenance release.
📄 Release Notes
🌐 Infrastructure
- Flattened Traefik host rules:
backend.tripflow.cub1z.es→backend-tripflow.cub1z.es,ws.tripflow.cub1z.es→ws-tripflow.cub1z.es. The new single-level hostnames are covered by Cloudflare's free Universal SSL wildcard (*.cub1z.es), so both endpoints can now be proxied (origin IP no longer exposed).
🐳 Build
- Backend Dockerfiles now copy
*-*.jarinstead of a hardcoded version, so version bumps no longer break image builds.
⚙️ CI
- E2E workflow caches Playwright browsers and pins Node to 22 to avoid the Node 24 stream regression that hung the browser install (nodejs/node#63487, microsoft/playwright#40724).
🏷️ Version
- Backend modules and frontend bumped to 1.0.1.
